Scarlet, White and Blue

I think the antibiotics I've been taking after my oral surgery are messing with me. I can't sleep, I'm having nightmares, my body feels funky. Yesterday I saw my cousin Robin and her kids. Robin told me one of her kids has Scarlet Fever. I got all wiggy inside because I am convinced antibiotics lower your resistance. Hence, I am going to get Scarlet Fever. So I keep telling myself "you are NOT going to get Scarlet Fever." The kid was running around so it didn't look like Scarlet Fever was all that bad. But still.

I HATE taking medicine. I haven't taken any of the pain meds, so far haven't been desperate enough. Wine is the BEST medicine. The best medicine for a regular fever is a bottle of Champagne. I wonder how many you'd need if you had Scarlet Fever?

Anyhow. I've been riveted lately by Rar's Blog. Rar is spending a few months in South America, traveling around by himself. I am jealous of him. Because he's a guy, because he's young, because I am too much of a pussy to try to bushwack my way through a Bolivian jungle. Right now he is chillin' in La Paz. He has a great way of putting things into perspective there and also of describing the things he does and the places he sees. I wish I was chillin' in La Paz. Though I would be scared of the rubber bullets.

If is a foggy morning and I have to get my house cleaned up because my co-worker Bryan and his girlfriend Annika are spending the night. I talked them into it last night when they were drunk in a hotel room in Sorrento Mesa, where they attended a wedding. I love Bryan. He's the perfect combination of fun, smart, and eccentric. And Annika is a sweetheart. I'll do my best to keep them out of trouble.
